Rebels Lose in OT

In the last game of the regular season, the Rebels and Knowlton Gnashers battled to decide 4th place in the Division. The Rebels held on to 4th going into the game but a loss would leap frog the Gnashers in front. Again, it wasn't their best outing of the season but the Rebels did battle hard to at least send the game to overtime giving them that 1 point which secured them a 4th place finish. Dustin scored early in the second to tie the game at 1 a piece but the Gnashers answered back right away to retake the lead. Mike P. then scored to tie things up but once again, the opposition answered back to retake the lead. With just under 10 minutes remaining the Gnashers scored again, hoping it would put the name in the coffin but Mike P. came out and added 2 more goals less than a minute apart to tie things up again and also giving him the natural hat trick. The chances went back and forth in OT with Dustin actually scoring but the goal getting called back because of a delayed penalty. The Gnashers then ended the game with just 39 seconds left. The Rebels now play a single game elimination quarter final playoff game against the Raging Bulls, the 9th place team, who actually beat the Rebels in overtime in their only meeting of the regular season.
